Solé bicycles is THE place to go for all your bike needs. Mike (who works there/fixed my bike) was such a kind human and amazing example of true customer service! I brought in an old run down bike and they immediately handled it with care. I had it back to me within no time that same day! Love Solé bicycles. Cannot recommend them enough. Thank you Solé team! xo read more

Ordered online and the front forks were severely damaged. I spoke with the manager, Ian, who provided a multitude of solutions. It was agreed the company would provide the part and install it free of charge to which they did. Accidents happen and Solé Bicycles was more than willing to help resolve the issue. Hope to purchase my wife a cruiser bike from them once they're back in-stock. read more

These guys are great! Sometimes I come by just for little things, and if so, they've always been very helpful. This is much appreciated, especially in these difficult times. read more

I had a flat and I called them last min and they helped me out. Plus I was checking out all the bikes and they are phenomenal. Thanks for the help guys and getting me back on the road read more

I ordered my bike online and when I received it it was just a little too big. I went to the Venice location to switch it out for a smaller size. The bike it's self is absolutely beautiful! I've been waiting for it for sometime because it was back ordered and was eager to ride it. Imvery grateful to the young man who help me out at the Venice store his customer service skills were excellent and they resolved my issue right away! Thrilled with the bike thrilled with the customer service!!! read more

Went on a search for beach cruisers today and you cannot find them anywhere - no stores or online! I called Sole Bicycles and Andrew told me they actually had two brand new white ones! We weren't sure if white was what we wanted to I said no thanks and tried looking elsewhere. After having no luck we decided to check these out in person. Andrew remembered our call and showed us these new beauties! Amazing quality, made in-house, they look so great and ride so smoothly! After a some test rides we pulled the trigger and got our new bikes! Andrew even switched the sweat and handlebars on one of ours to traditional beach cruiser brown ones! The bikes look and feel great but the best part of our experiences was the customer service we received from Andrew. From our phone call, all the way through removing the front tires of each bike so that we could fit them in my car, we felt so welcomed and appreciated and knew we were making a quality purchase from a quality company! Can't wait to hit the road with these! read more

Finally decided to treat myself to a new bicycle, and wanted to get something that wasn't another rusty beach cruiser, but also didn't require me to wear spandex and those shoes with clips. Living in Venice, I had the fortune of being able to test-drive a lot of bikes. Major chains on Abbot-Kinney, Main St., Lincoln, have plenty of "nice" bikes to choose from. But it was a cool, unassuming shop off Winward Circle that had the best choices in terms of style, sizes, quality, and price-point. Sole Bikes. A local brand, staffed by local people. Everyone was super friendly, answered all my (rudimentary) questions, and helped me get a bike that I'm actually hyped to ride. Check them out, you won't be disappointed. (p.s. I got the https://shop.solebicycles.com/products/windward-three-speed-city-cruiser ) read more

A little off the beaten track, at the Venice end of Main, but worth a little excursion. Clean and compact, clear pricing, and competent service...Johnny restored my sanity when I had an annoying noise from my chainwheel. Stop by and give them a try! read more

Jeff, Andrew and Mike are the BEST! Super friendly service, amazing selection and quality work! Best bike shop in town!

Fast And friendly service. They let me take the bike I was interested in out for a spin and it rode super smooth. Ian was awesome andlet me know of the first time up within 30 days was free to make sure the bike is functioning properly. Lots of customizable options to choose from. Although I didn't upgrade yet, I'll definitely come back here when I do. read more

I just bought a Solé bike off a friend and I needed a new tube for the back tire. Walter was quick, attentive and complemented my awesome new bike's color multiple times. I was in and out in 10 minutes. He also told me how to clean up the white tires and some scuffs on the frame. I'm so glad I went with Solé! read more

I am so happy with my Solé bike! I came in thinking I knew which bike I wanted but thanks to the help of the store manager Ian I was able to test out the bikes and make an informed decision. Ended up getting a City Cruiser with a more upright posture which will be a much more comfortable ride for me. Super stylish and they offer student discounts so it ended up being very affordable for me. read more

Solé Bicycles - My new bike! - Bikes Near Me - Venice, California

Ordered a bike a year ago, and initially there was some difficulty actually ordering it. There was zero communication from their so-called "support" and I had to call/message them dozens of times to get an update on the status of my order. I was able to get through to them and the bike eventually arrived at my door. A year later, I'm trying to get through to them again and it's the same nonsense. I left messages with no response. I called their support and spoke to the same person (Cody) who informed me he would get back to me ASAP. Still nothing. They state they're open from 9AM-6PM but no one ever answers the phone. They make decent bikes but the whole customer support system is a JOKE. I have no idea if they realize this and don't care or are truly oblivious to it. Either way it sucks and I just wish I could get in touch with someone. read more

Great spot in Venice to rent a bike for the day! Today dropped in and decided to buy one finally. Spencer was great and helped me customize a nice little ride for cruising around Venice :) read more

This shop is definitely worth a visit. Sole bikes are clean n simple and their sure to have what you're looking for from townies to cruisers - and they all look great! I stopped by for a repair and they took care of me quickly and with a smile...no condescension that you may get from other bike shops, so yeah!, they do repairs and tune-ups too! Check em out! Thanks. read more

Unparalleled customer service experience with Sole. I had an exchange request and hands down this was the easiest and best experience I've had with a customer service request with any retailer ever. Seriously! Shout out to Alex at Sole for helping me out. + I fell in love with my single speed bike and now also have a cruiser and highly suggest both! The styles, fit, and quality couldn't be better. read more

Bikes are cheap. Frame feels like it will break at any moment. I have been riding bikes for years and suggested this for my friend to get so she can ride with me. I took the bike for a test ride and I am completely embarrassed I suggested it to her. I would save up my money for either a used nicer bike or save it up for something slightly more expensive. read more

I've have the pleasure of having two Soles, each one looking sharp and fresh. These are seriously the best looking bikes anywhere. And the ride is fantastic. Perfect for maneuvering around the city and for chilling down the beach bike path. I especially like how light and fast these bikes are. And they look great in the house too. In fact, I've never been complimented on my bikes before and now I get comments all the time. Walter at the shop is extremely knowledgeable and helpful with the purchases. I am seeing Sole's around town more often and it makes me happy to see people's unique personal style with their bikes. Happy to support a local shop and even happier that the product is the best out there. read more

I always wanted a Solé fixie after seeing an online ad for one. When they had a mystery sale earlier in the year and I was in the market for a new bike I couldn't resist. I ordered a size too large, and Solé customer support took care of the issue and sent a replacement. I couldn't be more happier with my purchase. Customer Service has been great, very helpful and responsive. I would definitely recommend purchasing a Solé bike! read more

Great bike shop! Not the least bit pretentious. The folks working here are incredibly friendly and attentive. Despite both employees being busy, they both greeted me and stopped what they were doing to help me. Johnny helped me figure out the gear I needed for my bike, never tried to sell me anything I didn't need, and swiftly sent me on my way with a smile. This place is the SPOT. read more

I work for MindMed and we ordered some custom branded bikes as corporate gifts that were a HUGE hit! Not to mention, the customer service of the team is above and beyond. Even during COVID with huge delays elsewhere, the production and shipping was quick and efficient and they were always quick to get back to me via email. Not to mention, I really felt like they cared about the success of our project and they sent us a bunch of different mock-ups and clear price breakdowns. Our team loved the bikes and I would absolutely recommend Solé to anyone looking for custom (or even regular!) bikes. read more

Really good customer service. Many friends recommended Solé. They didn't have my size in stock but they ordered one and had it ready within 48 hours. Great experience. read more

This shop is great. Just bought a new bike and I'm in love. Great location and perfect rides. Ian is the man!

Got a flat tire right in front of the store they were closing they came out and assisted me fix it within 15 minutes gave me a great price I will be back wonderful customer service love Johnny thank you so much read more

Very cool shop and a great group of guys who work there. Bought one of their bikes 3 years ago and recently purchased their new city cruiser. Love them both and I see these bikes all over Venice! Would recommend getting a new set of handle bars if you don't want to be hunched over while riding. They sell them in the shop too! read more

The BEST- Bike. The BEST- Customer Services. The BEST- Options. This is my first SOLE BIKE- it beats out any other experience I have ever had before. It started with the EXCELLENT time that I had picking up my bike with the SOLE TEAM - Walter and Diego- 5 Stars- and ended with a new bike for me to get around for my everyday needs and movement! read more

Very happy with my purchase. I ride 11 miles a day to work and back 5 days a week. This bicycle makes that a breeze and riding a single gear is getting used to but my legs are stronger and looks like I'm improving my riding. Sole has picked perfect gear and my cruising speed is around 10 mph to get me to work in 30 to 45 min. Much fun to be had. Thanx Sole! read more

This is Hap and I have bought a couple bikes and haven't gone for a ride yet without getting compliments. Not to mention the bike rides great, thank you Spencer for helping me out at the new store in Venice, great spot I'll definitely be back! read more

Super easy process. Came in, didn't have my bike in the shop but placed an order and my requested model was delivered to my doorstep the next day! The shop carries tons of cool accessories as well, definitely recommend stopping by. read more

I own the Bixby Dutchie and I love it dearly. It's an easy bike to cruise around NYC with and very light which makes it easy to carry up and down the stairs in my apartment building. I constantly get compliments on the sleek/cool design and color. I highly recommend a Solé if you're on the market! (It's also a very photogenic bike for your brooklyn/west village hipster selfies) read more

Great service and nice looking bikes. Friendly neighborhood bike shop.

Came here twice. Got two bikes. The attendants at the time--Ted and Ian--were informed, patient and overall awesome. Built my bike for me and added everything I needed. Moreover, my bike has been allowing me to get my life. Def recommend anyone coming here for a bike. read more

I took my bike in for a tune-up at their Venice location and Spencer hooked it up! Customer service was quick and easy and I was out on my way cruising the streets in no time. Overall 5 stars, I love my Solé bike! read more

Very disappointed in the bike I just purchased from them for my son. First it does not have rear brakes and it is flimsy. Secondly after using it only a few times for just a simple suburban street ride for a few miles, the inner tire popped. There is no nail, no screw and no indication of anything penetrating the outer part. The inner tube is flimsy and customer service was no help. Very disappointed in the quality of the bike and the customer service response. read more

I have owned two sole bikes and love both of them! They are easy and fun to ride and look awesome. I receive countless compliments on my bikes! The company has great customer service and the bikes ship in a timely manner. read more

I just moved to Venice and was looking to find a bike to cruise around town. Solé bicycles are so smooth and Ian was incredibly helpful. I walked out with two bikes and couldn't be more stoked! read more

I live in Chicago and had gotten a Sole bike through myhabit.com. Being 5'2" I liked that they offered smaller frame bikes. I was nervous getting a bike I had to assemble but it was a piece of cake. I used my bike for 3 months for commuting riding between 20-50 miles a week. Its easy to ride, looks nice and I love the flip-flop hub. One day as I was riding home from work, my pedal started feeling strange. A bit further and my left pedal fell out. I was sad to discover my pedal crank was totally stripped and I was stuck mid commute with a defunct bike. Worried that my local shop would not have the same part or try and do up an overpriced hack job, I contacted sole. Cody at Sole in a few emails, accessed the issue and is sending me a new pedal crank..FREE!! They have more hen impressed me and I will definitely consider Sole bikes when looking to purchase another. read more

Been riding my Sole for years now and its held up very nicely. The bikes are super stylish and the durable.

Their customer service could not be any worse and to add insult to injury the bike I was shipped is defective. Thus far I could not regret my buying decision any more, and having thought about buying bikes for my family I consider myself lucky to have only purchased one. read more
